Branding Begins w/ YOUR Name

The wrong name for your brand can do worse than just fail to connect with customers; it can also result in time consuming, expensive, unconquerable legal and business hurdles. Finding the right name for your start-up can have a significant impact on your success.

However, in contrast, a clear and powerful name can be extremely helpful in your marketing and branding efforts.

Below are tips in choosing the appropriate, winning name for your business.

1. Avoid hard to spell names!

2. Don’t pick a name that could limit your business growth.

3. Get the .com name!!! (It doesn’t hurt to buy others, but buy the .com!)

4. Use a name that conveys a message.

5. Conduct a trademark search.

6. Make sure it sounds good when said aloud!

7. LASTLY, make sure it makes youhappy!
